[aur-general] Should we still include VCS packages in makedepends?

[Marcel Korpel]

Hi,

As of pacman 4.2.0 there exist some variables in makepkg.conf that read:

#-- The the package required by makepkg to download VCS sources
#  Format: 'protocol::package'
VCSCLIENTS=('bzr::bzr'
            'git::git'
            'hg::mercurial'
            'svn::subversion')

It looks like pacman is able to see which package it needs to retrieve
a specific VCS source. Do we still need to include those in makedepends?

Regards,
Marcel
